Desert Herald Newspaper Politics PDP Senators Set to Impeach President Jonathan,Fight Party Senators elected on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party,PDP are currently involved in a battle with President Goodluck Jonathan and their party leadership. According to THE SUN, the senators have resolved to shut down the economy and move against President Jonathan as they have started compiling alleged impeachable offences against him. A PDP lawmaker who spoke to the press anonymously said the interest of the lawmakers was not been protected by the party. He said, The party did not protect us during last Saturday’s ward congresses. We have decided that there will be no sitting; there will be no legislative business. Jonathan has lost the Senate. He has left us at the mercy of governors to treat us anyhow and they have removed everybody from the congress. We are not doing the jobs of the governors yet, they want to decide for us how to do our own jobs and all of them are saying we are not coming back! What kind of nonsense is that? So, we decided we will shut down government and let us all know what is happening. There is nothing else to lose. Every morning, we will show up and adjourn. The PDP senators are dissatisfied about what is happening in our party. Once we get into plenary, we will adjourn and as we do that, we will do solidarity with Tambuwal. We may even commence his impeachment. Since we are going down, we are going to go down with him. Let us all go down except he makes a U-turn and treats us the same way he is treating PDP governors right now. If he is giving them automatic tickets, then, every PDP senator that wants to return to the Senate must be given automatic tickets.” SOURCE: nigerianbulletin
